Chapter 23 The day is short and the night is long
"Today's small goal is to remove all sea monsters and various living plants from the feet to the mountainside to the west." Jiang Mi picked up a small piece of grass at his feet with a shovel in his hand, and threw it aside. On the pile of hay piled up like a hill, his eyes turned to Jiang Xun beside him.

"Brother, do you know how to use this thing?" Jiang Mi looked at Jiang Xun, who was wrapped up tightly and carrying a bright yellow pesticide spraying device behind his back. He looked weird and couldn't help but want to laugh. .

She has never seen her brother look like this. In her impression, Jiang Xun's image has always been exquisite and decent, but now he looks particularly down-to-earth.

"I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs running before. Besides, it's not difficult to operate this thing." Jiang Xun said calmly.

Jiang Mi shrugged, but didn't refute, because after all, her brother was faster at everything in elementary school, unlike her, at least in terms of learning, she couldn't compare to him.

Without wasting any more nonsense, Jiang Mi lowered her head and carefully weeded, while Jiang Xun followed behind her and sprayed herbicides, carefully ensuring that every corner was not missed.

Just as she thought at the beginning, the closer you get to the part of the mountainside where the dense jungle was, the more and more plants are still surviving. From just one or two scattered plants at the beginning, you can now see a clump of them. A shovel will not only uproot the plants, but also attract many sea monsters hiding among the plants.

Some sea monsters are much more aggressive than the first shrimp she met. For example, the Pipi shrimp in front of her was hiding among the plants. When she pushed down with the shovel, the thing actually ejected directly and almost hit her. face.

Fortunately, Jiang Mi reacted very quickly and subconsciously turned his head as soon as he discovered it. The Pipi Shrimp, which had turned blood red all over and had a bulging carapace on its back, and had grown more than a circle in size, was about to rub against it. Her face fell not far behind her.

Jiang Xun, who was following her, cut the shrimp into two pieces with a backhand knife.

Jiang Mi looked at the Pipi Shrimp that was broken into two pieces on the ground but still struggling tenaciously with some lingering fear. Even though she was wearing a filter mask on her face, looking at the sharp jagged shape on the edge of the Pipi Shrimp's carapace, he couldn't guarantee it. Will the mask be scratched?

"Be careful." Jiang Xun whispered.

Jiang Mi nodded with a bit of embarrassment on her face, perhaps because she thought there was no great danger in the current apocalypse, so she relaxed her vigilance, but she almost had an accident.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mi took a deep breath and secretly increased his vigilance.

Next, he encountered many strange sea monsters, but Jiang Mi had become more cautious. Whenever he saw a hiding place that might be a sea monster, he would test it first.

If there are sea monsters, kill them first. If there are no sea monsters, then kill the plants.

The cooperation between the two became more and more tacit. I thought it would take a day to clear the area from the top of the mountain to the target halfway up the mountain. Unexpectedly, it only took most of a day to clean it up.

When today's cleaning work was over, Jiang Mi took a bucket of gasoline and poured it on the hill-like pile of weeds.

Most of the day had passed, but the weeds and various trees that had been pulled out did not seem to be withering at all, and they still looked like they had just been pulled out.

Jiang Mi lit it with a fire, and the scorching heat burst out, dispelling a lot of the chill around his body.Looking up at the sky, Jiang Mi frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "It's not even five o'clock, is it already getting dark?"

After the apocalypse, both day and night have begun to change, with the days becoming shorter and the nights becoming longer.

A drizzle began to fall from the sky. Jiang Mi took out an umbrella from the space and held it up. The brother and sister stared at the burning pile of grass without blinking until they confirmed that it was all burned to ashes, without any resurrection. After that, he turned around and walked towards the air raid shelter.

Jiang's father made hot pot for dinner, half tomato and half spicy. Jiang Mi specially fished a fish and some shrimps from the lake in his own space. She was not sure whether these things were shrimps, but judging from the appearance, they were very different from shrimps. It’s not bad, so I’ll just treat it as shrimp, it tastes almost the same anyway.

The tomato pot bottom is made by Mr. Jiang with more than a dozen tomatoes. It is not only sweet and sour, but also rolls the pork belly in the tomato pot and cooks it before taking it out. The pork belly wrapped in rich tomato sauce will not make people feel uncomfortable. There is no greasiness at all, and it is put directly into the mouth without any seasoning. The extremely satisfying taste directly makes Jiang Mi feel happy.

After the fish and shrimp fished out of the space lake are cooked in a tomato pot, even if they have not undergone any fishy removal treatment, there is no fishy smell at all. The mouth is tender and delicious. The more you eat, the more you want to eat it. The last fish It was not enough for four people, so Jiang Mi went to grab another one, and the family of four had full belly after eating it.

Mother Jiang touched her overstuffed belly and couldn't help but sigh, "How many pounds will I gain after this meal? No, I have to exercise soon."

Jiang's father burped. When he heard his wife say this, he quickly said: "Honey, you are not fat at all. It's not good if you are too thin. You should eat more to gain weight."

Mother Jiang shook her head firmly, "Mi Mi and Ah Xun have started to exercise every day. How can I, a mother, not lead by example?"

"And you too, it's time to lose weight. This is the end of the world. Our physical fitness must be improved, but we must not hold back our daughter and son!" Mother Jiang glanced at Father Jiang's beer belly with disgust. .

Jiang's father touched his belly with some embarrassment. He was already a very old man and had worked hard for most of his life. After handing over the company to his son, he finally enjoyed some happiness and raised some meat. As a result, This is the end of the world again, and now I am still disliked by my wife, alas.

"Tomorrow, starting from tomorrow, dad will train with you!" Father Jiang gritted his teeth.

"Tomorrow, I'll go in a little while, just in time for a meal." Jiang's mother said from the side, Jiang's father opened his mouth to argue, but was stunned by Jiang's mother's glare.

Jiang Mi didn't speak for his father. After all, exercise was indeed a good thing, and at his current weight, he was indeed worried that he would get high in the future.

After eating and sitting for a while, the family of four headed to the gym together.

Jiang Xun was doing special training for Jiang Mi, while Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were walking slowly on the treadmill.

After all, I am old and have no foundation for fitness. Everything must be done step by step, otherwise the bones of an old person's body may easily break apart.
